But Quake blew my socks off - it was gorgeous - the layouts were rich and textured - and it was the first game i could crank up my resolution for.

it's the only game i played for hours at the time it came out... i remember going to bed - closing my eyes and i was still reliving running down corridors, going ip elevators .. etc.

Quake 2 was an improvement - i really liked that one too.

I wish they'd put out Quake 1 and 2 for the xbox360 .. so i wouldnt have to play them on a computer :D
Bastard....


you could probably ask around. Microsoft has a programming platform called XNA that is specifically for writing games, and allows them to be ported to xbox 360 with minimal work. I bet someone with enough time and skill could rewrite quake in a compatible language (which just happens to be C#, my specialty), especially since the quake engine has been open-source for a couple of years now....

So its not beyond the realm of possibility.
